  ...
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Michael J. Bennett's 40 years of teaching at St. Mark's School of Texas.
  ...
  Born four months before the German Blitz, Michael Bennett grew up "in the East End of London, not the rich part, but the tough part."He attended the East Ham Grammar School for Boys where he skipped his fifth year.As a "Sixth Former" or Senior, he was expected to specialize in an academic area to prepare for the demanding A Level exams.His father, understanding the importance technology would play in revitalizing post-war England, suggested he study Science.But as Michael recalled, while in Science class one day the Headmaster said " `This is not the place for you . . .' and he was right . . . I chose the Classics and that has made all the difference."
  
  Michael passed his A Levels and was awarded a scholarship to study at Christ Church, Oxford where he studied Classics and graduated with honors, earning both a B.A. and M.A.He would later earn another Master's Degree from the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College.Michael has also studied at the Vergilian Society School at Cumae.
  
  At the age of 22, he joined the faculty of the St. Andrew's School in Middletown, DE as teacher, debate coach, and Head of the Classics Department.Three years later, in 1965, he came to St. Mark's.During his tenure at St. Mark's he has taught Latin, Greek, English, Debate and Fine Arts.He served as advisor for the Trivia Club, the Film Society, and the Junior Classical League.He was a member of the Curriculum Study Group and founded the Classical Society that presented plays in Latin by Roman playwrights Plautus and Terrence.In addition to teaching Latin, he currently serves as Senior Master, Chairman of the Faculty Advisory Committee, Latin Club Sponsor, Chairman of the John H. Murrell Awards Committee, Seventh Grade Class Sponsor, and President of Cum Laude.Outside school, he is the Opera critic for Northside People.
  
  Michael is married to Dena, a freelance writer.He has two children.Sarah lives in Tacoma, WA where she is a child and family counselor.His son Paul, an alumnus from the Class of 1980 from St. Mark's is an attorney who lives in Annapolis, MD with his wife and three children, Jeffrey, Allison and Annie.Michael proudly notes that grandson Jeffrey is a straight "A" student in his Latin class.
  
  I would like to extend my sincere congrats to Michael and his family on this great occasion and wish him additional success as he continues to teach at St. Mark's.

  Michael Bennett, the Museum's curator of Greek and Roman Art adds, "This magnificent sculpture has several stylistic and technical features that we associate with monumental Classical Greek bronzes, and ancient testimony attributing to Praxiteles an Apollo Sauroktonos in bronze greatly adds to the work's importance."

  The Cleveland Apollo is the only known large bronze version of its subject in the world, said Michael Bennett, the museum's curator of Greek and Roman art.
  ...
  "This is by far the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me in my professional career," said Bennett, 45, who joined the Cleveland museum in 1998 after three years as senior curator at the Tampa Museum of Art in Florida.
  
  Bennett first saw the work on April 15, 2003, when a dealer at Phoenix Art removed a black veil that covered it.
  
  "I had to sit down and catch my breath," he said.
  
  Bennett contacted Cleveland museum Director Katharine Reid, who immediately asked that the work be shipped to Cleveland for study, a move that indicated a strong interest in acquiring it.
  ...
  In Cleveland, Bennett and other museum officials spent a year privately consulting experts and conducting scientific tests.
  ...
  Walter, now 86, told Bennett he rediscovered the sculpture in 1990 lying in pieces on the floor of the manor house, along with agricultural equipment.
  
  Believing the bronze was a late 18th- or 19th-century garden sculpture, Walter sold it in 1994 to a Dutch dealer whose name he can't recall.Phoenix Art won't say from whom it bought the work, Bennett said.
  
  Despite that gap in the provenance, Reid and Bennett believe they have acquired the sculpture legally.
  ...
  But Bennett doesn't expect questions about the sculpture's authorship to be settled soon."In some ways," he said, "we'll debate it to the end of time."

  "The Greek culture was infectious," said Michael Bennett of the Cleveland Museum of Art, co-curator of the exhibit, which he said illustrates the transfer of Greek culture from the Aegean Sea area to Italy.
  ...
  The exhibit includes a wide and eclectic range of items, because Bennett and Paul said they wanted to offer as broad a picture as possible of the culture of the Greek colonies.
  ...
  "This is the first time that an exhibition in the United States has been able to pull together loans of absolute masterpieces of Greek art from several major Italian museums," said Mitten, who served as an adviser to Bennett and Paul.
  ...
  Bennett and Paul acknowledge the exhibit is mostly a product of the extraordinary generosity of the lending museums, and Mario Iozzo of the Center for Conservation in Florence, who accompanied the Americans to each museum to ask for their masterpieces.
